What is involved in the atkin diet?
The Atkins diet is built on restricting carbs and filling up on fats. This puts your body in a state of ketosis so your body learns to burn fat for energy instead of carbs. It does cause weight loss but personally I wouldn't recommend it. You need carbs in your diet.

Can you gain weight if you eat too much protein?
Yes, you can gain weight if you eat too many calories total, no matter which type of calorie (fat, carb, or protein). However, fat counts for 9 calories per gram wheras carbs and protein are 4 calories per gram. So you can (and should) eat plenty of complex carbs and lean protein, while keeping fat intake down, and not worry about gaining weight.
If you are a 5 foot tall woman and weigh 178 pounds how many calories and carbohydrates should you be on to loose 40 pounds?
Any time you keep below 50 carbs a day, and 1,200-1,300 calories you'll lose weight. If you are very active you can usually afford more calories but from my personal experience keep the carbs low. Plan on losing 2 lbs a week and you'll be able to keep it off too. When you're ready to maintain your weight just slowly add carbs and calories until you even out.
How many calories should a 170lb woman intake per day?
The amount of calorie intake should be based on: health conditions, maintaining weight or losing weight. Also the type of calories should also be considered. If you are to maintain weight, you need to burn 3500 calories when 35oo calories are taken in. Normal daily activity can burn over 1000 calories per day. To lose weight, you must take in 3500 less for each pound lost combined with 3500 burned to show any weight loss. Normally the first 10-15 pounds lost on most people is water retention. However,restricting calories too quickly can cause a significant decrease in metabolism, so be safe.1500 to 2000 per day is a good measure. But keep sugars, carbs and fats to a minimum.A nice balanced breakdown of calories should be: 60,30,10 approach- which simply put is 60 percent protein, 30 percent carbs, 10 percent fat.
